Mainline Branch Annual Exhibition (2 of 2)

Everyone did a great job! As you can see the quality of beautiful arrangements that I posted here, all from our Sogetsu Mainline Branch members. Our Sensei, Mrs.Hata made a special trip coming to see our exhibition at the Brandywine museum of art. We are so grateful! We have gotten so many wonderful comments from visitors who came to see our arrangements!

Mainline Branch Annual Exhibition at Brandywine Museum of Art (1 of 2)

Our Sogetsu Mainline Branch’s annual exhibition is held on 6/27/2025 to 6/30/2025. We have 17 class members participate in an Ikebana exhibition at the museum. They make a beautiful setting just for us. When the museum open, the visitors will not only see the paintings, art pieces and also see the unique arrangements at the same time. 

My arrangement: I have two trunks of wood, I am thinking about using them to make a floor arrangement. Because of that I am looking for larger branches, a friend of mine who has a big wooded area in her side yard, I have been eyeing on her beautiful azalea bushes for a while, when the time comes, she graciously allow me to cut a branch! It’s perfectly to suit my needs! I am so grateful! I would like to show my arrangement here first, the rest of others will follow.
